SCM

HOUSTON, Oct. 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Stellus Capital Investment Corporation (the "Company") (NYSE: SCM) announced that its Board of Directors has declared a monthly dividend of $0.0833 for each of October, November, and December, totaling $0.25 per share in the aggregate for the fourth quarter of 2026. The regular dividend of $0.25 per share will be paid to shareholders of record in November and December 2026, and January 2027.

Venture lending is the higher-octane corner of private credit. Business development companies, or BDCs, in this niche extend senior secured loans to venture-backed and lower-middle market private companies, then pass the interest income through to shareholders as dividends.

Stellus Capital Investment Corporation is upgraded to hold as recent distribution cuts and improved NAV signal stabilization, despite ongoing portfolio contraction. Its dividend yield stands at 11.8%, now fully covered by net investment income, but coverage remains thin and sustainability is uncertain amid elevated non-accruals. Portfolio growth is challenged by negative net investment activity and high non-accruals, though future redeployment of $140M in non-earning assets and a new SBIC license could support expansion.

Stellus Capital Investment NYSE: SCM reported second-quarter 2026 net investment income of $0.26 per share on both a GAAP and core basis, while net asset value increased $0.26 per share, or 2%, from the prior quarter.
